PORTFOLIO

I have been leading and developing a number of software and hardware projects for the past 12 years. The examples below include commercial projects, academic undertakings, spare-time hobbies and so on. Note the dates and timelines under each project: they vary from single day hacks to multiple year efforts, with dates ranging from 2004 to 2018.

Casting for Google Daydream

Launched one of the marquee Daydream platform features in 2017: integration with Chromecast, enabling people in VR to share the fun with their friends and family.

RÉSUMÉ

Over the past eight years, I've had the privilege to study and work with a number of amazing people at a number of places. The summary of my education and professional experience is below, but if you prefer, you can get my detailed résumé on LinkedIn.

Worked on a functional specification of a feature for Microsoft Office sustained engineering content management. Evangelized new methods for UI prototype reusability to reduce the effort duplication between PMs and developers. Drove an end-to-end DB performance investigation and built cross-divisional team relationships for DB perf analysis.

Designed and implemented (using C#) an automated performance testing suite for the feature that is used across Microsoft Office and Windows divisions for developing and constantly updating 50k+ pages of documentation on MSDN.

Developed a new UI feature in "repo" trading software (using C#) that enabled traders to compare interest rates between different financial securities as collaterals across various terms. Created an associated e-mail reporting subsystem (Java/Spring) and a website (ASP.NET) producing automated reports for traders and senior executives.

Designed and implemented (using C/C++) an audio driver framework for devices running on WinCE 6.0. This allowed the company to reduce the new platform support time from one month to three to four days, increased code re-use and maintainability and ultimately resulted in a significant decrease in internal audio driver development costs.
